Elon Musk is a lottery winner in the business world.

The same people who don't even know the difference between socialism and communism? No place for reason here.

Coordinated yes. Carefully? Questionable.

Are those judges above the law? What a weird system.

Imagine Steve Jobs taking to Twitter calling all doctors pedos for trying to fix cancer with chemotherapy instead of fructose syrup.

I can't begin to imagine how people like this draw pleasure from life. This sort of evil is so extremely shallow. Have they ever even considered what they will think in their death bed? Or do they also just wanna kill themselves before it gets too bad, a la Hitler?

Spiders work fast. They rebuild webs in a matter of hours. It's not a realistic demand.

Though at the time the amount they wanted was not worth the grief so I just moved on. But minor deposit frauds are extremely common and almost always unpunished. Landlords have essentially nothing to lose by trying it, certainly not morals.

There are many arguments to be made here but this isn't one. The money can have conditions attached to it. For example, give an amount now and agree to some target being reached within 6 months and so on.

Didn't expect the current government to get something right. The funny thing about the right is that they at least support nuclear. Probably for the wrong reasons.

People are too optimistic about renewables. The world has a limited supply and if the richer countries keep competing over it when will the poorer nations ever get the chance to ditch their coal and oil?

How many countries have invested into production vs just out buying the poorer countries?

The intermediate solution to our problems will be a mix of nuclear and renewables. Being so against nuclear despite our massive issues with climate is a nice gamble people take on other people's future.

We are both far from meeting current electricity demand even in the richest nations and switching away from oil in transport. We need multiple solutions. And as we have seen from the current energy crisis in Europe, no government or population is willing to have a discontinuous energy supply, something common in most renewables.

At current pace we most likely will. But it won't be cheap, both in terms of resources and lives. But it's unlikely to end human civilisation.

Keep in mind that being a climate doomer and giving in to hopelessness is pretty much playing in the hands of the ones causing it.

Let's not forget Liz Truss. She may not have been as good as a lettuce but she was nonetheless.
